Osteopathic Workshops

The workshops are designed to increase OMT competency and knowledge for osteopathic preceptors. There are 2 workshop options:

  • The Intro to OMT workshop is targeted for MD preceptors, DOs needing a refresher and MDs matriculating into ACGME Osteopathic Recognized programs.
  • The Advanced OMT workshop is geared towards physicians that are comfortable with OMT and are familiar with the basic osteopathic principles and techniques.

These hands-on workshops take place in-person at the PNWU Yakima campus or can be live-streamed if the host site meets specific requirements.

Workshops are free for Network programs. Registration links will be sent out 3 months prior to the event on the FMRN listserv. For more information, please contact Michelle Chadek, MS, Director of Graduate Medical Education.
